Heidi, I just had to write and let you know that
your website has helped me create the most awesome author study of Roald Dahl's books.
My students loved completing the big animal shaped projects you designed for
The Enormous Crocodile, Esio Trot, and The Giraffe, and the Pelly and Me. For the
final project, they had so much fun writing and drawing about the characters from Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory using your Willy Wonka Factory project. Thanks for sharing
your scrumdiddlyumptious ideas

I feel so fortunate to have found your website and I have referred several
of my co-workers to your website. Just for the month of January, there were
three teachers displaying your book reports. I had the trophy reports, my neighbor
to the left had the computer reports,
and my neighbor to the right had the
birthday cake reports.
Thank you so very much for all of your work!

I just wanted to say thank you for the most amazing teaching resources that I have ever
come across in my thirty years of teaching. I have used many of your
book report
sets this year and my students absolutely loved them. What was particularly
pleasing was seeing some of my reluctant readers (especially the boys) really
wanting to read books and complete the activities. Keep up the great work!
